One of the Most Boring Games of the Year...

Well, I'm proud to say that the Sabres haven't lost yet this year! YAY!

In all seriousness.. we're 2-0 in 2010, and have won four straight. We're on a roll... even if some of the games weren't great. (I hardly consider two games with three-goal deficits "great.")

The game against Montreal yesterday was better. We limited their chances, and although we (again) didn't score in the 1st period, neither did they.

Most importantly, we were pretty disciplined. They've got the best power play in the league, so only giving them two chances (both thanks to Tim Kennedy... *ahem*) isn't bad. Too many penalties and we would've handed the game to them on a silver platter.

Ryan got the shutout - his 5th of the season... now he's tied for the league lead! That game also helped lower his GAA and save percentage, and he's now listed as second in both statistics.

It was a win... not very pretty, but a win. We played gritty, limited their opportunities, and stayed disciplined to wrap up the win.

The Sabres now have a three game homestand, with Tampa Bay on Wednesday, Toronto on Friday, and Colorado on Saturday.

(I expect Patty to play at least one of these games!)

Also... NATHAN PAETSCH has been placed on waivers... :( :( :(

  1. I think Patty will either play against Tampa Bay or Colorado. I'd prefer to see him on Wednesday, to be honest. Then again it might be Saturday now with Ryan's shutout and all.

    Nathan. :(
